RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE AND THE ART OF PROTEST

Synopsis

Arguably the most provocative band of the last 20 years, Rage Against The Machine have been, since their explosive debut, the group most associated with the American protest movement. Picking up the flame of a long musical tradition from such 60s civil rights artists as Pete Segeer, and Bob Dylan, the anger remained undiminished during the final decade of the 20th century in Rage and contemporaries like Public Enemy. This film dissects the work and career of Rage Against The Machine and looks at their place in the fascinating lineage of artists and performers who have drawn attention to - and spoken out on behalf of - the world's marginalised, downtrodden and oppressed.
